12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina choppy seascape And the joy of opening

And the joy of opening it to discover it goes on and on and on and on

good sized one with lots of character and sweet details

though I personally might opt to hang it from a different orientation

beautiful and a very satisfying thing to hold

12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina choppy seascape And the joy of openingHard to tell the scale here but this is a large one a foot long and an old one, 19th century I believe, with remnants of original dry red paint. The six balls inside are fairly small for the "cage" meaning that they naturally land in a staggered way, as show in first several photos, which I really love. Terrific old patina, substantial presence, nice both stood on end and laid horizontal. 12" x 2 1 8" x 2 1 8". Very good antique condition, no losses,
